Foreword

In the wake of the movement against the capitalist globalization, a number of books, discussing visions and alternatives to the capitalist market economy, has been published. Three of the books in particular has risen discussion: Michael Albert’s Parecon, Alex Callinicos’ An anti-capitalist manifesto and George Monbiot’s The age of consent.

Here we have collected some of the debate among the left wing, plus extra on the discussion of a socialist democratic ecomomy. Most of it is in English, a small portion is in Norwegian and Swedish.
(Parecon is short for Participatory Economics).
